Hi, do we have any progress in this area?

But it might be interesting to share the effort of maintaining a stable branch to base consumer products on. > Also I think it is unrealistic that OpenMoko only uses Monotone for > version control, and I support their decision to go with a local > repository as well.

But in this case it might be possible to keep the specific packages in svn - you can easily tell bitbake to handle multiple package sources.
